Vintage Handmade Matcha Bowl – Kyo-yaki Maple and Sakura Motif

This beautiful vintage Matcha bowl (chawan) is a fine example of Kyo-yaki pottery, known for its elegance and refined decoration. The cream-colored base provides a soft background for its seasonal motifs: a red maple leaf on the left side and a delicate white sakura blossom on the right. Flowing blue curved lines across the bowl create a sense of depth and perspective, enhancing the overall artistry. The underside of the bowl bears the impressed seal of the artist (undeciphered), further highlighting its authenticity and handmade craftsmanship. The bowl is in excellent condition, though it comes without the original box. Perfect for tea enthusiasts, collectors, or admirers of traditional Japanese pottery, this piece beautifully captures the harmony of Japan’s seasonal themes.
